2. Which is the easy & safest way for water Disinfection Today’s Topic

4. 1 Chlorine is the most common chemical disinfectant but the question is: Is disinfection with Chlorine really safe and reliable? Chemical disinfection

5. 1.Use of chlorine is carcinogenic in drinking water (Mutagen X)Harvard Medical/ Barcelona Study 2007. 2. Use of chlorine causes TriHaloMethanes (THM) e.g. chloroform, bromodichloromethane, bromoform bromochloromethane . 3. Use of chlorine causes haloacetic acids (HAA) mono-, di and trichloroacetic acids and mono- and bromoacetic acids. 4. Mutagen X cancer potency is 170 times greater than chloroform . MX , THM and HAA are linked to cancer, miscarriages, stillbirths and birth defects This is what you are exposed to:

6. 1. Chlorine does not kill ALL micro-organisms in water 2. Chlorine is pH dependant 3. Chlorine is corrosive 4. Chlorine is hazardous to transport, store and use 5. Chlorine does not effectively remove the biofilm. 6. Chlorine generates by-products that are a proven and permanent risk for human health. Other limitations of chlorine

7. It has Chlorine in the naCompare: H 2 0 is 2 parts Hydrogen gas and 1 part Oxygen = Water and NOT Hydrogen nor Oxygen So ClO 2 is VERY different from Chlorine!! 2 Chlorine Dioxide (ClO 2 )

9. To develop an innovative and revolutionary new concept that removes all side effects and by-products known from existing disinfectants. Thus to make a safe and clean disinfectant ! What was the challenge?

11. After 8 years of intensive research, scientist were able to generate a pure ClO 2 dissolved in water and called it: Today we present you this revolution

16. Kinetic Half Time >30 days! (in solution form when storage conditions are respected) Comparison Facts Classical Method DiamondOxide ® method Form: Cl 2 : gas NaOCl: liquid Component A: Component B: Stability of Ingredients Very limited 2 years Composition of ClO 2 solution Containing Free Chlorine Containing Chlorate Containing Chloride Containing Chlorite Explosive No Free Chlorine No Chlorate No Chloride No Chlorite Non-explosive

17. Kinetic Half Time >30 days!

18. 100% Safe to Disinfection water by 100% Disinfection

19. Biofilm is the film of dirt, residues and micro-organisms in pipes, filters, pumps etc. . What is Biofilm / Biofouling

20. 1. Chlorine does NOT remove both layers 2. Chlorine cannot penetrate Bio-film and kill bacteria living in and behind this Bio-film. 3. Chlorine can only corrode the top layer. 4. Chlorine dioxide and Ionization penetrate the Bio-film. 5. Only complete removal of the Bio-film guarantees 100% save water at the tap 5. Chlorine dioxide removes the Bio-film and prevents the growth by a low continuous dosing. Facts about Bio-film

21. BIOFILM

22. Biofilm Soft

25. Safe, reliable and simple water Disinfection How to use it

28. CLO2 in Brussels

29. The dosing capacity of 1 Liter DiamondOxide ® is calculated as following: DiamondOxide ® 0.45% = 4,5 gram ClO 2 per liter = 4500 ppm/mg per liter 1 liter of Diamondoxide can disinfect: at 0.02 ppm dosing= 4500 ppm/0.02 ppm = 225.000 liter of water. at 0.10 ppm dosing= 4500 ppm/0.10 ppm = 45.000 liter of water. or Volume of water to be disinfected x dosage rate 4500 ppm Yield per litter
